Cooking Method

Panna Cotta

  • Bake the cornflakes and sugar for 5 minutes at 170‎°C
  • Soak the cornflakes in milk and cream for 30 minutes. Then drain.
  • Bring 400ml of the strained milk and cream with the sugar and vanilla to a rolling boil.
  • Soften the gelatin leaves in cold water.
  • Take the milk and cream mixture off the heat and stir in the gelatin. Pour into 4 Dariole moulds and cover with cling film to stop a skin from forming.
  • Set in the fridge overnight.

Blueberry Compote

  • Simmer all ingredients on a low heat until reduced and thickened.

Lemon Curd

  • Melt the butter. Then add the sugar, juice and zest.
  • Stir in the egg yolk. Keep stirring until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Cool and place in a piping bag.

Caramelized Porridge

  • Melt the butter. Add sugar and salt and bring to the boil for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in porridge and spread on a baking tray.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 160‎°C. Then stir and bank for a further 8 minutes until golden.
  • Allow to cool, then blitz in a food processor.

Puffed Wild Rice

  • Heat oil to 180‎°C.
  • Add rice. It will puff straight away.
  • Use a sieve to remove rice and put onto a kitchen towel
  • Pour icing sugar on top and mix.

Dried Orange Slice

  • Slice orange very thin.
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon. Then coat the orange with this mixture.
  • Bake at 90‎°C for 3 hours on a wire rack, turning regularly.

Assemble the dish

  • Using a wide pastry brush, spread the blueberry compote diagonally.
  • In the opposite direction, sprinkle a thin line of caramelised porridge across the plate to create an ‘X’.
  • Remove the panna cotta from the mould using a blowtorch to heat the sides. Then place where the two lines meet at the centre of the ‘X’.
  • Garnish the plate using small dots of the lemon curd, fresh strawberries and blueberries, edible flowers and the puffed rice.
  • Finish with a slice of dried orange.
